Fager Thor is the ideal choice If you would describe your horse as the following;
Fager Thor is a Double-Jointed bit. The anatomically shaped mouthpiece features a 45° twisted middle piece. This centerpiece works well on a horse that pushes its tongue against the bit in an attempt to evade the contact and take control.
The straight, slim design enhances the aids, creating more direct and precise communication than ever before. Together with the sweet-tasting material, this bit is a good option for horses that can get on and off in the contact.
The Baby Pelham sidepiece creates a frame feeling for horses who have a tendency to become unstable but still strong.
We recommend using the Baby pelham with a delta bridle or two reins, one in the large fixed ring and one in the small ring.
With two reins, you can easily regulate how much leverage you want from the bit by shortening, or lengthening, the rein that is attached to the bottom ring. With more leverage, you get a slightly lower neck and more effect, with less leverage you can get the horse a bit higher in the neck with less effect. If you use Fager’s adjustable delta, you have the same choice without having to use 2 reins.
This unique design acts as a curb version of a Baucher bit.
Please note, horses who are wide over the premolars/teeth may need to size up in this bit due to the upper shanks. This is because the sidepiece of the bridle is attached to the upper shank of the bit, which is placed higher up where some horses are wider than others.
More about the mouthpiece
The Pelham bit is designed to give the rider both direct rein aids and additional leverage when needed. The upper ring attaches to the cheekpiece of the bridle, while the lower ring is used for the curb rein or a converter. When the lower rein is used, the shank creates leverage, applying pressure to the poll, the mouth, and the curb chain under the chin.
This action encourages the horse to rebalance, soften in the contact, and come down/forward to the bit with a framed, stable feeling. The Pelham can be useful for horses that become strong, heavy in the hand, or need extra help maintaining balance and control, especially in jumping or faster work. It should always be used with a soft, educated hand and a clear release when the horse responds.
A shorter shank, 5cm, will give the rider a more uplifting effect. The shorter shank is suitable for horses who need to loosen up through the shoulders and come up in front. The shorter the shank; the easier it is to create bend and flexion.
A longer shank, 7cm, encourages the horse to follow the bit's contact forward and down. This is good for horses who can get high in the neck and strong.
More about the pelham shanks
Horses who are wide over the premolars/teeth may need to size up in this bit due to the upper shanks. This is because the sidepiece of the bridle is attached to the upper shank of the bit, which is placed higher up where some horses are wider than others.
The sides of the bit should rest gently against the corners of the horse’s mouth without pressing, to prevent the bit from moving from side to side.
